Organizations around the world are using the NIST Phish Scale (NPS) in their phishing awareness training programs. As a new metric for measuring human phishing detection difficulty of phishing emails, the use of the NPS by phishing training implementers across different types of organizations has not been formally evaluated. This poster presents the results of a study on the use of the NPS by organizations with established phishing awareness training programs. Initial results suggest that there are areas for improvement, but training implementers perceive the NPS as useful overall and an asset to their organizations’ cybersecurity awareness programs.
